ABOUT SCORE

The album was released on August 29, 2006 and contains the entire concert setlist, including the encore. A condensed version of the concert was aired on VH1 Classic on August 25, 2006, 4 days before the release of the album and DVD. It was released on September 2, 2006 in Australia.

The title of the album comes from the word “score”, meaning the number twenty, in reference to the band’s 20th anniversary. It can also refer to a conductor’s musical score, which is seen on the album cover.

Two of the songs recorded on this album were previously unreleased: “Another Won,” a song written by the band in their earlier years, when they were known as Majesty; and “Raise The Knife”, a song recorded for but omitted from Falling Into Infinity.

In Australia, the three-disc version of the album was released on September 2, 2006.

Dream Theater's custom logo, known as The Majesty Symbol, is derived from Mary, Queen of Scots' mark, which was re-worked by Charlie Dominici for use on the album artwork for When Dream and Day Unite. The Majesty symbol has been present on every album cover since then.
